This feedback is based on initial assessments as a true review could take months of use. I just got mine last week. But I want to share some info I think is important. It is well built; it is smooth; and it does have a lot of drag. That said, like most things, it isn't perfect. First off, the elephant in the room...yes, it is the current 7+1 version. Penn stated in a forum post on Stripers Online website that all reels made starting September 2017 were made with the line roller bearing. As you will see from the photo (L18) that mine was manufactured in December 2018, and it IS the 7+1 model. I first purchased one from my local shop and returned it when I found out it was the older model. FYI, the sticker with the code is on the reel after you take off the spool. Pros: 1. Well built, including all machined brass gearing 2. Well sealed - IPX6 rated. I actually like that there is a 3rd party verification and rating system used here. I am not a fan of Shimano's "X" ratings and "Core" ratings. It's just marketing names. 3. Smooth drag; I admit I haven't used it in full practice yet, so take that with a grain of salt 4. Smooth action; it is smooth, but not as good when put next to Daiwa. Those are ridiculously smooth. The Slammer feels very slighly geary next to those. But not enough to complain about it. Cons: 1. Minimum drag - same complaint as everyone else; you can remove the drag cap and still not go very low. It's odd. I will say this one I have from Amazon is better than the 2 year old one I initially purchased from my local shop. Drag feels a little lighter. In practice it will likely be fine matched up with the 20 lb braid I'm currently running. According to Tackle Advisors, the minimum he experience was about 1-2 lbs. It feels close to that, but didn't bother to measure. Value: Well, value is subjective and personal. I will say I think the jump from the Spinfisher VI to this is appropriate. You primarily gain 2 extra bearings, a brass main gear and what I feel is a better handle. If you don't care about the little extra smoothness from more bearings, and the handle isn't important to you, the Spinfisher VI is better deal, especially at 6500 and above (where the main gear becomes brass like the Slammer). According to Tackle Advisors, the sealing in the VI (not the live liner models) is the same as the Slammer. In that case, you nearly get a Slammer for 2/3rds the price. For me, I noticed the extra smoothness of the extra bearings, and I like the handle so much better that I was going to put the Slammer handle on the Spinfisher VI anyway. Even with the current cost (as of today) of the Spinfisher VI 4500 at $142 and the cost of the Slammer handle at $65 on Ebay, that's $207. That's better than the $250 of the Slammer III 4500...except I got the Slammer III 4500 for $187 on Amazon. Soooo, that's a no brainer for me. I think I got a good version of a good reel. I think will work perfectly for my inshore Florida needs. And I believe at $187, it is a great value. ... show more

  • Why go any where else
Style: Slammer Iii Size: 5500
I did a lot of internet research for the best salt water reel for 2021. Out of 5 fishing websites that extensively test, analyze, and rate slat water reels, this was consistently at the top. if it was not #1 as it was in 3 article, it was in the top 3..... This is out of 1o rated reels. Penn has always mad quality durable reels, and this one rate with ^600-$800 reels... Difference is that it weighs more than the more expensive reels. The gear ratios are prefect, the materials are very durable, drag is what you want and more, and is is so smooth in it mechanics when reeling in fish. You want a high performing reel that will last a long time and meet your needs for large or small fish.... Look no further. ... show more

  • Worth it for saltwater environments
Style: Slammer Iii Size: 6500
Worth the extra money to get this model if you think you’ll get it in the water. Especially saltwater. I use mine on the jetty rocks and wading in surf. It’s gotten dunked in ocean while I was grabbing fish. I open it up every few trips (easy to do). Never seen water or salt deposits. grease it up real good while you’re in there and you’ll never have an issue. O-ring material seals are throughout reel. good for kayak, jet-ski, or surf/rock/inlet fishing. Gotta love the handle too! It comes with a soft rubber one also. Easy to change. No auto-bail bar return. Once you cast, you have to flip the nail with your hand. Reeling the handle won’t flip it. Awesome reel. Worth this price if you have the need for a sealed body. Little extra bonus is that it uses the same drag system as the Penn International reels. ... show more

  • Great, smooth big game reel
Style: Slammer Iii Size: 6500
Very impressive reel and built like a tank! I was surprised to feel how smooth it is being such a large reel (6500). I'll be using this paired with a heavy fast St Croix rod on Muskies but purchased it mainly for Great Lakes salmon & trout because of its tremendous spool capacity for those runners. Was first impressed when the handle smoothly rolled to the bottom when I picked it up. The dual set of bearings in the grip are so smooth they spin like a top. Mega powerhouse drag system is very smooth. I have a ton of rods & reeds in my arsenal but this is the best addition I've added in years. ... show more

  • Awesome, Amazing, Great!
Style: Slammer Iii Size: 7500
I have two Penn Slammer III 7500's paired with a Penn Carnage II medium/heavy 7 ft 50/100lb rods, both spooled with 65lb PowerPro braid. With 50lbs of drag, using the Dura-Drag system, the same silky smooth indestructible drag system as Penn International's, you will NOT find a better spinning reel combo for the money. This is an awesome general all purpose rig! Whether you are bottom fishing, high speed or slow pitch jigging, trolling, or casting, from Snapper, Cobia, Amber Jack, Kingfish, Mahi, to Grouper, Blackfin or Yellowfin, this rig won't disappoint! Infinitely better drag system and more line holding capacity then any other in this class such as the Daiwa BG. If you are looking for a general purpose, all around offshore spinning rod / reel combo, look no further! ... show more

  • Great reel was worth it
Style: Slammer Iii High Speed Size: 8500HS
At first was just looking for a bigger spinner and came across the Penn slammer III 8500hs. I just started fishing about a year and it looked great but the drag was a tight even though you loosen it all the way but other then that I think it's a great reel I was able to reel in 51lb Ulua (Giant Trevally) it was a good fight and the reel held up great. It was worth getting this spinner ... show more
